In the Southern Ocean, the Lysianassoidea is one of the most important amphipod groups, both in terms of species number and abundance. DNA taxonomy and phylogeographic studies were conducted to detect cryptic diversity and to test the circumpolarity and eurybathy of some taxa. These studies demonstr...
